Dreams as Source Material for an Artistic ProcessAsikainen, Heta January 2021 (has links)
In this essay, I document and reflect on a process of creating a twenty-minute performance called That Time I Swam in a Storage Room (2021), with dreams as its source material. The essay is written in the form of a series of log-book-like entries, which offer an insight into how the work developed throughout each week during the nine-week working period. The process described in this essay, is centred around individual explorations, through reading and try-outs, as well as studio-sessions together with a four-person working group consisting of Ane Carlsen, Anton Hedevang, Jane Sievänen and Heta Asikainen. In the essay, I give an account of how the explorations are executed; by using tools and methods derived from Dadaists and Surrealist art movements, such as the cut-up technique and automatic writing. Fragments of methods from other thinkers and psychoanalysts are also applied in order to harvest dream-images and further work with the content of the dreams, such as Sigmund Freud’s dream interpretation and Carl Jung’s active imagination. The essay ends with reflections on the process of creating the performance. / <p>This master work includes both a performing and a written part. </p>

A Daily Diary Investigation of the Impact of Flexible Work Arrangements on Physical Activity Among University StaffBorowski, Shelby 07 June 2019 (has links)
The goal of this investigation was to examine personal and environmental factors that may influence levels of daily physical activity in a sample of university staff employees who use flexible work arrangements (flextime or telework). Our first aim was to investigate the link between self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and flexible work arrangements on daily physical activity. Our second aim was to investigate the link between work stress, job burnout, work-to-family conflict and flexible work arrangements on physical activity. Lastly, we investigated if the use of flexible work arrangements buffered the relationship between barriers, as well as job burnout, on physical activity. University staff employees who worked full-time, currently used a flexible work arrangement, lived with at least one family member were eligible to participate. Using a daily diary design, data were collected from 61 university staff employees. Participants completed an initial survey followed by daily diaries over the course of one workweek, resulting in 281 diary days. Data were analyzed with multilevel negative binomial models. Daily barriers and use of flextime were associated with lower physical activity. Self-efficacy, telework, work stress, and work-to-family conflict were not significantly associated with daily physical activity. Flexible work arrangements did not moderate the association between barriers and physical activity. However, flextime moderated the association between job burnout and physical activity. Individuals with high job burnout engaged in more physical activity on flextime days compared to non-flexible workdays. Implications regarding physical activity, flexible work arrangements, and workplace wellness programs are discussed. / Doctor of Philosophy / The goal of this study was to examine minutes spent engaging in physical activity each day among university staff members who use flexible work arrangements. Flexible work arrangements can help employees have more control over their work hours and schedules. In our sample, we were interested in exploring how personal factors, such as the confidence in their ability (i.e. self-efficacy), and barriers influenced the amount of time staff spent engaging in physical activity each day. We were also interested in exploring how work factors, specifically stress from work, feeling burned out from work, and feelings of work interfering with family, influenced the amount of time spent engaging in physical activity. Lastly, we examined how the time spent engaging in physical activity differed on workdays staff used a flexible work arrangement and on days they did not use a flexible work arrangement. We collected data from 61 university staff employees. Participants completed an initial survey followed by short surveys each night for one workweek. We found that the more barriers an individual reported, the less time they spent on physical activity. In addition, on workdays when staff used a flextime arrangement (i.e. control over when work is completed), they engaged in fewer minutes of physical activity than on days they worked typical hours. Self-efficacy, work stress, feeling that work interfered with family, and telework (i.e. control over where work is completed) did not influence physical activity. Interestingly, we found that on workdays that flextime was used, staff with high levels of burnout from their job engaged in more physical activity compared to standard workdays (i.e. no control over their schedule). Implications regarding physical activity, flexible work arrangements, and workplace wellness programs are discussed.

Beyond image interpretation: Capturing the impact of radiographer advanced practice through activity diariesSnaith, Beverly, Milner, R.C., Harris, Martine A. 12 August 2016 (has links)
No / There is limited evidence of the impact of radiographers working in advanced roles beyond task substitution. This study reviews the contribution of advanced (and consultant) practitioner radiographers to service delivery whilst reporting radiographs and demonstrates the impact this has on patients and staff, both internal and external to the imaging department.
The study was a prospective exploratory study using activity diaries to allow interval sampling when individuals were rostered to report. Data was coded using a compiled list of activities and recorded in 15-min intervals over the period of one week. Thirteen radiographers who independently report radiographs participated across 6 locations in a busy multisite English National Health Service (NHS) Trust.
Radiographers reported the majority of the examinations during the study period (n = 4512/5671; 79.6%). The total number of coded activities recorded over the study period was 1527, equating to 380.5 relative hours. The majority of available time was spent reporting, including dictating and verifying the reports of colleagues or trainees, although 69.5% of reporting time was interrupted. Based upon the hours of reporting there was an average of 19.3 reports (patient episodes) produced per hour. Direct patient care tasks and support for staff in decision making were regularly documented. Supplementary tasks included administrative activity, amendments to rotas, preparing presentations and documenting incidents identified during reporting.
This study has demonstrated the breadth and complexity of the activities performed by advanced practice radiographers. The findings confirm their role in supporting service delivery beyond image interpretation.

How do consultant radiographers contribute to imaging service delivery and leadership?Snaith, Beverly, Clarke, R., Coates, A., Field, L., McGuinness, A., Yunis, S. 12 January 2019 (has links)
Yes / Consultant radiographer numbers remain low despite the ongoing capacity challenges in diagnostic imaging. This is compounded by the limited evidence of how such roles can positively impact on service delivery, particularly in relation to their leadership expectations.
Aims:
To examine the activities undertaken by consultant radiographers; evidence the impact of the roles, and consider whether the roles encompass the four domains of consultant practice.
Method:
Six consultant radiographers employed in a single NHS Trust completed an activity diary over a period of 7 days. Interval sampling every 15 minutes enabled the collection of a large volume of complex data.
Findings:
All consultants worked beyond their contacted hours. The documented activities demonstrate the breadth of the roles and confirmed that the participants were undertaking all four core functions of consultant practice.
Conclusion:
The impact of the roles stretched beyond the local department and organisation to the health system and wider profession.

Daily-collected Sleep Diaries Compared to Weekly-collected Sleep Diaries Via Actigraph ConcordanceFrancetich, Jade M. 05 1900 (has links)
Both sleep diaries and actigraphy have been recommended to assess sleep in research and clinical settings. Investigators have traditionally used sleep diaries that were completed daily by participants and collected weekly but have recently begun using sleep diaries that are both completed and collected daily. No research had previously assessed the agreement between daily-collected sleep diaries and actigraph data over one week. Undergraduate students were randomly assigned to use daily- or weekly-collected sleep diaries. Sleep parameters obtained from these measures were compared to each other via concordance with concurrent actigraph data. It was hypothesized that daily-collected sleep diaries would have greater concordance with actigraphy than weekly-collected sleep diaries. Results indicated that daily-collected sleep diaries provided more reliable data than weekly-collected sleep diaries, but the differences were not statistically significant. Additional aims examined self-reported sleep diary adherence, the participation day number, and day of the week. There were trends for the Daily group to have better adherence. Overall concordance did not change based on the day number or day of the week. Both sleep diaries yield comparable sleep parameter data, suggesting that clinicians and researchers can use either method to estimate sleep parameters.

Édition critique de la correspondance de Juliette Drouet à Victor Hugo. Année 1841 / Juliette Drouet’s letters to Victor Hugo, edition and study for the year 1841Sifferlen, Gwenaelle 13 January 2017 (has links)
Julienne Gauvain, dite Juliette Drouet, est principalement connue pour avoir été, pendant cinquante ans, la compagne de Victor Hugo. Mais elle fut aussi, et surtout, une prodigue épistolière qui écrivit, dès 1833 et jusqu’à sa mort en 1883, plus de 22 000 lettres ‒ qu’elle appelait « ses restitus ‒ à son cher poète. Précieusement conservées par l’amant qui les confia, à la mort de Juliette, au neveu de cette dernière, Louis Koch, elles sont aujourd’hui progressivement publiées dans une édition en ligne, afin de mettre à la disposition du public et des chercheurs l’intégralité de cette formidable correspondance. L'édition critique et scientifique ‒ comprenant transcriptions, annotations savantes et manuscriptologiques, notices explicatives, index, glossaire ‒ de 568 lettres de 1841, alors que le couple célèbre ses huit ans d’amour, en montre les intérêts biographique, documentaire et littéraire. En effet, ces restitus permettent d’étudier au jour le jour l’existence de Juliette Drouet, fraîchement retirée de la vie théâtrale et publique pour se consacrer pleinement à son amour, et de Victor Hugo qui, élu à l’Académie française le 7 janvier et en pleine rédaction du Rhin, fait face à des procès littéraires et familiaux, prend ses premières notes sur les temps présents et encadre les reprises d’Hernani, Ruy Blas et Angelo, tyran de Padoue. Ces lettres sont par ailleurs des témoignages précis sur la condition féminine, les liens sentimentaux, les mœurs, les petits détails de la vie quotidienne du XIXe siècle et elles fournissent des renseignements précieux sur le contexte historique, politique, médical, scientifique, social et artistique de la monarchie de Juillet et du règne de Louis-Philippe. Enfin, cette véritable masse textuelle, outre sa valeur stylistique et littéraire propre, suscite une réflexion générique de par son statut hybride de journal épistolaire. / Julienne Gauvain, alias Juliette Drouet, is mainly well-known for her fifty-year relationship with Victor Hugo. But first and foremost, she was a lavish letter writer who wrote more than 22,000 letters to her dear poet – calling them her ‘restitus’- from 1833 until she died in 1883. They were safely kept by her lover, who entrusted them to Louis Koch – Juliette Drouet’s nephew – after she died. Today, they are gradually published online so as to provide the general public, as well as researchers, with this complete astounding correspondence. The critical and scientific edition – including transcriptions, scholar and manuscript-related annotations, explanatory notes, index, glossary – of 568 letters dating from 1841 (8th anniversary of the couple’s love story) highlights their biographical, documentary and literary interests. Indeed these ‘restitus’ allow a day-to-day study of the life of Juliette Drouet, who had just withdrawn from theatrical and public life in order to fully devote herself to her love, and of Victor Hugo who, freshly elected to the Académie française on January 7th and in the process of writing Le Rhin, had to face literary and family trials, started taking his first notes on the present times and was supervising the revivals of Hernani, Ruy Blas and Angelo, tyran de Padoue. These letters also account for an accurate testimony on the status of women, the sentimental ties, the customs and all sorts of small details of the 19th century daily life. As well, they supply precious information concerning the historical, political, medical, scientific, social and artistic context of the July Monarchy and the reign of Louis-Philippe. Finally, apart from its own stylistic and literary value, this true mass of text arouses a generic reflection given its hybrid status of epistolary diary.

Deník jako součást básnické výpovědi Alejandry Pizarnikové / Diary as a part of poetic testimony of Alejandra PizarnikFilová, Miroslava January 2020 (has links)
This Master's thesis is mainly focused on the poetics and poetic style and language of Argentinian author Alejandra Pizarnik. The main objective here is to show that they are not only present in her poetry but also in her extensive diaristic work. The primary source of this thesis is then the newest edition of her book Diarios, Lumen: 2003 - Diaries. The present work also approximates the diary as a literary genre with special focus on the female writer's diaries, and its many examples and parallels - the primary example being the comparison between Alejandra Pizarnik's and Sylvia Plath's diaries and their poetics based on several similarities. Key words: Alejandra Pizarnik, Argentinian literature, literary diary, journal intime, Argentinian poetry, female diaries
